I leave it up to Geert to apply Nubus patches that pass review. There is 
no git tree for this subsystem and the only arch to make use of it so far 
is m68k.

In my opinion, there's nothing novel about deleting code so it's quite 
meaningless what "git log" says about authorship. That's doubly true for 
redundant code, which compilers elide as a matter of course.

If some developers are receiving incentives to do juanitorial work (like 
running coccinelle scripts) then I'd like to know whether a line added has 
the same price as a line deleted.

Maybe some developers are deleting redundant code I wrote so as to make my 
life easier as the maintainer. Maybe they are not getting paid for that. 
I'm not aware of that having happened here, but if it did, thanks a lot.
